Chapter 39
With each passing day, mom and dad always talk to me to help them in business. They also failed a few times whenever I wouldn’t allow it.
I got used to Sister Chantal's always frowning face every time I saw her at home. Not like Jacob who always smiles at me.
He even introduced the woman who liked him. He likes something, I'm just not sure if he likes it too. He probably wouldn't have introduced himself if he hadn't. He said he only introduced me because he always knew that Aunt Chantal was always doing something.
I don’t know how I survived here without seeing doc bulge. A few years ago, I still remember my first night here, I still had the delusion that he was here even if he wasn't.
I didn’t finish my ‘on the job training’ at Monteclar Hospital. I would have been ready to insist on my last year of college here in Ilocos, but I found a way.
I didn't attend graduation but I graduated, I also didn't think that doc umbok would pass me on my on the job training.
I don't know if he was mad at me when I suddenly left without saying goodbye, nor did I text or anything with him. Our last meeting was when he went to Tit's house.
I have to be patient for Tit. Tit is dangerous because two families are looking for him. This is because Tit is very beautiful even though he has arthritis and is still struggling.
He no longer wanted to have communication with either of the two. I understand Tit so I didn't force him to come back because I knew I was the one they would look for.
My parents did not allow me to leave Pangasinan again.
They prefer me to be in the mansion even though we don't earn much or talk much. Maybe that's what they want because they still hope I will follow in Chantal's footsteps.
The business is doing well. Garzon Industries is very famous because of sister Chantal. I used to admire Ate Chantal but I never dreamed of being like her or better than her because I have my own dream.
That's her dream, my parents dream for her too. She's successful in her chosen path, my parents are so proud of her. I don't envy her for being a good daughter. I'm jealous of the attention that they showered her. I can't even feel one drop of it. I just want them to be proud of me too.
I knew I would get to that point too. Especially now that I am a full -fledged doctor, am I still discouraged. It took me a few years just to become a doctor, I was just new.
I have been working in a big public hospital here in Pangasinan for less than two months. I'm still new But somehow I'm making new friends.
Especially since there are a lot of people walking with Raf, I am always approached just so I can introduce them to Serafino. After all, you always visit the hospital, even female doctors my age have a crush on her.
Damn! Do you think that?
This hot farmer became friends with her. He is not just a hot farmer, because his family owns the entire farm and hacienda that he will inherit. There was even a rumor that Serafino and I used to be together even if we weren't.
Until now, that is still an issue. Even her parents believed in that gossip, because sometimes they also come to them. His parents know me. It was sad when I said we were just friends.
We don't just spread gossip because we know the truth.
It's also good for me because no one is planning to flirt with me again because I'm always with Serafino. Tit and mother Judy knew him, even Jacob. He knows his true identity, because he doesn't want to let it be known that he is a haciendero.
He just seems low-key.
Mariah was the only one I told about what had happened before. I thought he was mad at me for leaving me, he said he understood. He also knows the feeling of being beautiful like Tit.
He once visited here. He also graduated, it's a pity and I wasn't at our batch party then.
He is an anesthesiologist, he works at Monteclar Hospital, his story is full of the new handsome doctors there as well as his anger towards Molina and Suecyn. He said he only saw it once again.
She also knows Raf even though she wants it even though she already has a boyfriend! This Raf is really different!
They said, of course... Even a few years ago, my pepe was still destined for the bulging bulge of my life!
Mariah said that doc umbok always frowned when he was still ojt. The head seems hot. The handsome face was really ugly before but I was said to have wrinkled when I disappeared. I don’t want to hope but of course I do!
I always hear that the woman with him is different when seen in restaurants or bars.
I ask Mariah if it's true, she also doesn't know because it's in the other building, she also doesn't have time to find out because she's busy with work.
That woman will chase doc umbok so I can't blame her or her women. But of course mine is mine. He's bulging me!
Damn you, Verine! You have nothing new! ' my brain said.
I also consulted a psychologist, my brain is said to be normal. Healthy seems to talk to oneself. I'm not crazy, I'm just crazy about doc umbok!
"Do I look okay, Verj?" Raf asked as he adjusted his dress. My nickname is getting shorter and shorter, from Verjy, Verj with him.
We were in the room reserved for us, preparing for the wedding.
The other friends went to fix it first, so Raf is just here, I would have left earlier in case I haven't finished fixing my hair so he's still here. There is a bathroom and walk in closet so there is no problem.
Sister Chantal is now married to a famous business man. Our family got to know each other so everything was easy.
Fortunately, my sister is really fenced off by Drake! That's nice, just a little arrogant but okay. Atlis loves her sister Chantal and so does her sister.
"Yes, many more will come to you later!" I laughed saying, I adjusted his tie. He looked up and let me fix that.
"Tell me you've taken me." He promised. My right eyebrow rose. "My girlfriend is so beautiful! There's nothing like it! We've been together for a few years now, I can always be with her..." he said proudly.
"Who is that? You cheated, you didn't tell the story!" I slapped its big arm. He was overwhelmed.
"What town Verj! Seems unknown!" he laughed. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"It's my hacienda! It's my girlfriend! It's so beautiful, there's nothing like it. Then I was just a kid in the hacienda so we've been together for so long." its promise.
"You really love that hacienda of yours, you just made her a bride. Name it so you can sin too!" I laughed saying to him.
"I won't invite you to our wedding, you might have stopped the ceremony," he said.
Damn you Raf!
"Stupid!" I laughed saying.
"Marry the one you touched first, then I'll think about whether I can stop your marriage so that I can have a single with me for the rest of my life!" next cup.
"Yes, doc!" he shouted then saluted like a soldier. Raf really has a problem with this too! I just laughed at what he did.
The luck of the woman he will love. Raf is kind, helpful, handsome, haciendero and not arrogant. The body is still beautiful! Full package! If only he would order from the shopee or lazada. I even delivered for Mariah! I will deliver ten Rafs so that gaga will be satisfied!
I looked at the make up artist who spat out the door. "Ma'am Verine, I need you in ma'am Chantal's room. There's a problem." I turned to Raf, he greeted me, I quickly walked to my sister Chantal's make up artist I followed her to my sister's room.
I sighed when I saw Sister Chantal's arm.
Damn!
He also has a rash on his neck and even on his cheek! It was like a map on his skin. What did it eat? As far as I know, he is not allergic to any food.
It turned on me. "Verine! Oh my gosh! Thank God you're here! What the heck is happening to me? This is so itchy! I can't stop scratching it! It looks bad! I can't be like this at my wedding day ! " he said hysterically. It touched my hands.
"The hospital is far from here." I whispered but he heard me.
"Gosh help me..." she cried.
"You don't have any food allergies ..." I promised confused.
I turned over the make up on the table, next to her. I picked them up one by one and quickly read what was posted on the back non.
Damn!
There’s an unknown brand there, I don’t even know if there really is such a brand. I turned to the make up artist, his team as well as the hair stylist entered.
My sister just watched me look at that. "This one is fake. I'm having an allergic reaction because of it." I promise.
"Oh my god! Why did you use fake make up on me ?! I though you guys are the best ?! Why is there a fake ?! I paid dearly after that ?! Oh my god! How am I now? ! I'll complain to you! My skin! My wedding day is ruined! " Sister Chantal sighed as she caressed the skin.
They bow down. "M-aam Chantal, your niece because this one of us is playing with us, she's with our equipment, I'm sorry! Don't complain to us ... We're going to lose our jobs, I feel sorry for you!" begging promise of the team head.
"No! Didn't you feel sorry for me? Didn't you feel sorry for my skin ?! Today is my wedding day! The most special day of my freaking life!" she screamed.
Some of them are already in tears. "Please tell Raf to bring my bag here." I command them. Sister Chantal turned to me. She was also in tears.
In less than a minute, Raf was here with my bag. Fortunately, I went to the hospital earlier. Raf's appearance is also worrying as he looks at his sister Chantal. I traded the medicine for hives and itching inside the bag.
"I only have this pill, 30 minutes before the rash goes away. But that depends on how your body responds to the medicine. The rash can go away in about 20 minutes. You should have injected faster in case I didn't bring anything and then I couldn't-- "He didn't let me finish, he swallowed it, didn't ask for water.
"You better wish that my body will freaking respond on it right away or all of you will be jobless!" it says angrily to the whole team.
"Leave it, sister, it's not accidental. Calm down so that the medicine works," I said. They turned to me and bowed.
The hair stylist continued what was being done. Now they are more careful. That's how it really should be, you have to look and read carefully where the product is put on the face or body, especially if you are not sure if there is an allergy there. That is why there are other makeup brands that are hypo allergenic.
Good is an hour before the wedding. We stayed inside Sister Chantal's room. Mom and Dad also arrived, because they heard what had happened. As well as other maid brides.
Sister Chantal was done. She was already wearing her wedding gown. "Oh my! Its gone!" he shouted in disbelief.
Everyone noticed that so we turned to him. "Mom! Dad! It's gone! I look pretty again! My skin isn't itchy anymore!" he was glad of the promise.
I twisted his arm, as well as his neck. The rash rash and map on his cheek are gone! I smiled. The medicine is good and works quickly. Fortunately, I brought something!
Her make up and hair stylist were amazed, even the bridesmaids. Mom and dad calmed down when they saw that he was okay.
"The wedding will start in 5 minutes!" promise of whoever entered the room.
The bridesmaids have left. Even if mom and dad followed, I would have come out to feel the cold hand holding my arm.
I turned to him. "Why sister?" I will ask. Damn! Maybe her rash will come back! I quickly rolled my eyes at his neck. I also held his arm then raised it to see if he came back again.
He removed my hand and held you firmly. I looked up at him. "Thank you, Verine. If it wasn't for you, I would be ugly at my wedding. I'm thankful that you're here. I'm so proud of you, little sister. You decided to take the path that you want. You're brave enough to say no to mom and dad. I know im always grumpy and hard on you. It's because I never got the chance to choose the path that I wanted to take. I envy you before. Seeing you this happy on your profession, flutters my heart. I'm happy that you made a name yourself, on your own without being a garzon who's just good at business. Finally I can settle now, because you're on your own already. I don't need to watch you anymore. You grew up better and braver than me. "He said smiling.
I was slightly taken aback by what he said. I'm sure my eyes are big now. It touched the bottom of my chin then and lifted to close my mouth slightly open.
"You're a good doctor. Im glad that you're my sister." he promised. Then I was kissed.
Damn!
Is this happening ?! I can not believe! Did he tell all that to me ?!
She let go of the hug. He smiled at me again. With that smile, it was as if I lost my memory of his ugly look every time I saw him.
Damn!
He hugged me again and then left the room.
Damn!
Is everything he said really true ?!
"Yes it's true." I turned to Raf as if I had heard what my brain was saying.
"I know what you're thinking right now. Yes, your grumpy sister is so fucking proud of what you become." He grinned.
It seems like Raf just registered in my brain everything to confirm that. With so much joy in my heart I jumped up and hugged him.
"It's not your wedding day, Verj. But you can call this your day."
The wedding ceremony has begun. It was a whisper next to me about the handsome relatives of brother Drake's children. I told him what happened. He also couldn’t believe it as much as I did but it was fun for me.
That also ended quickly and reception was next. The woman was ready to approach Raf when her sister Chantal and brother Drake got stuck in their car. Mariah and I laughed when we saw her ask for our help. It's a pity that Tit isn't at the wedding, the vows are beautiful. Only at the reception does he seem to be weaving.
I kept my promise to Tit he was my first client. Glad he was then. There is another lover! I only have a peer who wants to flirt with Tit! The vitamins I prescribe for Tit are not mixed, so it's amazing.
Mother Judy has a weekly schedule for me. Need to maintain flawless skin like a victoria secret model!
We are here at the reception. The couple will be here in just a few minutes. It's dark so the attached lights are nice. The reception is in the hotel garden. I can also see the stars in the sky so it's really nice.
Everyone started eating. I moved my chair to see Tit coming towards our table.
"Tit! It's good that you caught up?"
"Of course, let's eat!" she joked.
It sat next to them mom and dad.
While Mariah and I were just at the other table talking.
Raf came to our table when he saw me. "Verj! You left earlier! I can't keep up with the amount of women don!" contributing says Raf.
"Tsk! Damn you looked so happy earlier!" Mariah teased.
"Damn it, he is really handsome then, Verjy! Walk me there!" she said.
"Me, that's arrogant!" Raf promised. I sipped the wine in the foreground as I watched Mariah point out.
He is handsome but in his actions he looks windy. "They're all kidding!" I laughed saying. Raf even attacked me.
Stupid too!
"Ricardo!" a woman screamed. We turned there. The man fell from his seat.
"Oh my god help!" cry of the woman. Ricardo's chest is said to be high and low. It also held her heart.
Damn it! She is having a heart attack!
"Verjy! Help me, you doctor!" she whispered. I throw her a look.
"And You're not a doctor ?!" I asked her.
"I'm an anesthesiologist!" she replied.
"I'm a dermatologist not a cardiologist, what do you want me to whiten and beautify him while having a heart attack ?!"
"But you're still a doctor!"
Damn it! That's enough dada. Mariah doctor is still right I am!
I immediately attended to the man. People are already looking at us. "Call that the hospital." I commanded the woman next to it.
"That's a doctor." Raf assured her.
"Thank God!" she yelled.
"Dermatologist doctor please." She chuckled. I stared at her, seeing the shock on the woman's face.
Somehow I knew what to do first with heart attacks. That was the first thing I did. The ambulance arrived quickly. We took him there, we said goodbye to Tit so it's okay to leave the reception first. I also came to help the man, even Mariah and Raf came.
I immediately remembered something in the ambulance!
Damn!
We quickly got to the hospital, the man was immediately taken to the emergency room. I breathed a sigh of relief at what Doc said. Tanya said the man was okay. This is a cardiologist.
Thank goodness!
"I'm glad you did the first thing to do at that situation, Doc. Garzon," She said.
"S-somehow I know," I stuttered.
"I'm sure Doc won't blame you. Deomindez recommended you to Monteclar Hospital. You'll be reassigned right?" smiling Saad of it.
Not everything he said registered in my brain.
"Verjy! Shuta Monteclar Hospital ?! Why didn't you tell me ?!"
Damn!
